The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. The “Acknowledgement” section was incorrect and included Dr. Catherine Tamalet. Dr. Catherine Tamalet should not be included in the “Acknowledgement” section for the following reasons:

Dr. Catherine Tamalet requests to be withdrawn from the “Acknowledgements” section in this article, on the following grounds: (a) No permission was asked of her to be acknowledged. (b) She did not read the manuscript before its publication. (c) The method depicted in the “Methods” section to quantify HIV DNA [“Generic HIV assay (Biocentric, Bandol, Provence) with a cut off of 20 copies/million of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)”] is not the method employed in her laboratory. Dr. Tamaret routinely employs an “in-House” method with a cut-off of 20 copies. Dr. Thamalet was in the acknowledgement for fruitful discussion and not for her participation to the study.
